Great video! Ihave been training my shiba puppy separately from his meals with about 5 treats for only 5 minutes once a day, but now you gave me an idea to include half of his meal with his training, so I can get more training in every day! So far all he knows is "sit" and "come".
So happy to read your comment Erik! Thanks for sharing - let me know if it works with your pup. Aoki is getting bored of his food so I might include more play/train sessions instead of food. That said, he's more food driven! haha! Check out our new vid tomorrow we're learning a new trick ;)
Instead of come I taught mine when I say her name is for her to come to me, cause “come” anyone in the street can say and I don’t want her to go to strangers (and she’s too friendly so)
Hey Lex! Thanks a lot 🙏 am happy that this video helped you get inspired for feeding time. Just got a toy that also stimulates him and that slows him down when he feeds. So good!!
Ty my Shiba is 11 weeks now and I’ve had her for a week and it’s time to start training her! The earlier the better I’m excited for the journey ty for the tips! 🥰
Just got a Shiba less than a week ago he’s 9 weeks old and I want to start training him to do commands and when it’s time to sleep and play. This video is very informative thank you will try these out with him.
I am noticing that he is not biting or jumping onto you while you are sitting on the floor, and this while your puppy at the nipping and jumping phase is. How did you train him not to bite or jump?
Aoki has always been good at not bitting furniture. He loves shredding tissue paper and are my cap once but other than that he was not interested at biting things.. I always made sure to put importance on his toys and divert his attention to them as much as I can!
Seems like you and Aoki have a great dynamic going! How old was he in this video/when you started training him? I got my Shiba at 8 weeks and he is now 12 weeks old. I started trying to train him at 10 weeks. So far (when he’s not distracted) I’ve taught him to sit, paw shake, and lay down. Having trouble getting him to learn stay and leave something. How did you go about training him to stay and leave things? Keep up the great vids!
I started training Aoki from day 1 😅 I invite you to go back and watch our first vids as it will show you the timeline and how it looked like then 😉 as for teaching him to leave it or stay, it is constant training and reinforcement even today!
Socializing Shibas is the most important. If you are lucky they are social. My first Shiba was not social at all. My current Shiba is a social butterfly. She loves all dogs and people. Complete opposite to the first one.
Hi, your video is fantastic. When you were training him at meal time, were you rewarding him with puppy food or was it treats? Also what time does it go to bed at night and what time does he wake up? Sorry but I’m picking up my puppy tomorrow and have been watching countless videos.
I know I’m late🥲, but I noticed you also have atleast one cat. I’m having my first dog ever in 2 weeks, which is also a shiba puppy. We also have 3 cats. One grew up with dogs in the house as a kitten. Your shiba looked calm in nature in the video as well. My question is how your shiba got along with the cat from beginning to now. And where to pay attention to maybe? The breeder already told us to not interfere when the cat is hissing or showing its boundaries to the puppy, because then the puppy won’t learn what the cats boundaries are.
God Bless You ☺️🦊 He is adorable! I wish my tricolor pup Shiba was that agreeable! He's a Daddy's Boy! Puts up a fuss with everything for me! We've had several Shibas over the years, this one is by far the most stubborn. Still, I would not trade him for the World! Best Dogos Ever! Good Job!👍 (We have those same orange balls, very strong, durable). Harder to train with another older Shiba and a hound dog around. They All Like Treats!🙄
Aoki is so cute!! I'm planning to get a Shiba around next year and I live in a condo/apartment - any tips on how to potty train a shiba pup in a condo before it's allowed to go out? (since it can only go out after it gets it's shots) Also, I heard that some shibas had trouble transitioning from a pee pad to outdoors - does Aoki use both or is he trained solely to go outside?
Hey Tiff! Thanks so much for dropping a comment 🤎 Aoki is fully potty trained to go outside. I wouldn’t recommend using pee pads if you want puppy to go outside to potty (in the future) as it teaches them that doing their business inside is acceptable. Instead, I placed potty bells for him to ring when he needs to go. I find it works best for me :) I’ll explain in our new vid going live this Sunday! Make sure to catch it ;)
How did your cat do when you introduced the pup? Im a little worried about how my cat will do, especially as I devote a lot of time and attention to training the pup.
When you walked him @ 1:22, did you already start his breakfast? And then continued the same breakfast around 9am inside (2:53)? Very clever to train with his food rather than treats!!and How did you potty train him so quickly? Amazing video! Thanks for answering my questions!🙏🏽😃
Hey Adrish! Thanks for dropping a comment and gals to know that you liked our vid :) Yes I always start with his breaky (which he won’t finish by the time we get back in) then I use the same breakfast later in the a.m. now sometimes he eats more then other less depending on his mood and energy so that ok!! If he looses attention, I don’t persist to not cause frustration - I guess it depends on each dog / breed but mine is very feisty 😛 we are doing a potty training vid that’s going live this weekend. Sharing the one trick that worked well for us. Let us know your thoughts!
Hey Nathan! Yep, he's a red sesame (his dad is a black sesame and mum a red shiba). Oh you must be so excited! Take as many photos and videos as you can becayse they grow too fast! If you are curious to see Aoki's growth, check out our latest video. It's a compilation from his 8th to 12th weeks ;)
@@aokiandanais Oh believe me last night i watched every single video you posted ! You make great videos and your voice is very calming and relaxed. Hope you continue posting . I followed you on instagram aswell ill send pics when i get my puppy in march!
Adorable! I’ve been wanting shiba but I hear a lot of cons, like shiba likes to roam, or not friendly to other dogs, etc. what do you shiba owners think?
great video, thanks for sharing! i have an 11 week old shiba and he is doing everything pretty well except the puppy biting, my hand is pretty beat up lol. do you have any tips for puppy biting?
Those baby teeth are sharp! Aoki’s nickname at the office is baby shark 😅 what I did is make a big « ouch » whenever he bit me (even by mistake/while playing) as they need to learn. Then walk away and stop playing… he still does it today but it’s started to phase out slowly. It’s a work in progress! They explore the world with their mouth so it’s very natural to them. Hope that helps!
Hello! How did you make Aoki to understand in the very first time, what 'high five', 'down' or 'shake' means? Sit is the easiest from my point of view. Many thanks for your answer! I like your videos!
Hi Szilvia! So glad you like our vids! :) when teaching a new command I usually use a treat to lure him in position or initiate an action. For Down, I kept the treat stuck to the ground until he put himself in a down position then said « Down, Yes » to reinforce and associate the action to the word. Maybe I can do a vid about it :)
Hi! How did Aoki respond to crate traininng? And when did you introduce? My shiba is 8 weeks right now and I have introduced him to a play pen and crate. I am letting him sleep in his crate beside me at night. He whines a little then goes to sleep after 5-10 minutes. Do you have any tips?
I would always keep crate time for nap time and bedtime. I would suggest reinforcing the crate as a house with treats and toys. I’d be happy to make a video about it! :)
Hey Jaylen! I got the boots and boots from my neighbour unfortunately I don't have the links. I bet the ones on Amazon as as good. I recommend getting the one that have a velcro snatch so that you can fasten them easily! like these: amzn.to/3QMos5f
Hello ! Just got my Shiba Inu. At this age, did you ever leave dog food on bowl or did you prepare meals for them when it’s time? Thank you in advance !
I had so many questions in relations to food and meal schedule. I used to free feed him but is changed a lot ever since I got Aoki. There are so many reasons to why I changed his meal time and more. Today he has fixed meal times - twice a day. Morning and evening. I might do a video about it! Let me know what other questions you have :)
Hahaha! Aoki is such a good student. I find that he is patient so the nipping stage was very short. I made sure to use the « uh-uh » command and showed him party’s over if he bites. :)
Hi!! I got the boots from my neighbour's - she gave me her dog's boots as he hated them. I believe their were a size S from Amazon - they were good from 8 weeks till 15 weeks :)
Would you say shibas are difficult dogs? I recently wanted a cavapoo but met a shiba pup and immediately fell in love with her and so much more connected 😢 but everyone keeps discouraging me. I live in an apartment with my mom and grew up with shihtzus so I’m wondering how different they really would be
hi, i have been wanting a dog, however i never had one, sadly. I am looking for a dog that is more independent, not clingy all the time. Is shiba not suitable for a first dog ever? Coudl you help out, i would reallllllly appreciate your tips and insight.
Haha it is still a work in progress. I made sure to separate them at first and give Suke (my cat) his own space. We introduced them slowly ~ the baby gate came in handy! Suke is still getting used to Aoki but puppy really wants to be friends with him haha! Check our first video - you’ll see their very first meeting 🤎❤️
Just stumbled upon this video and your channel. Great content on this one. Already subscribed. Planning to get a shiba (not yet now, would be first time dog owner) and I am just checking and checking videos about the breed.
Thanks for this huge compliment! I’m also a first time dog owner ~ so it took me a while to be 200% certain of getting a Shiba Inu. Haha! If it helps, I recommend watching as many Shiba videos as possible (obviously lol) and if you can meet some owners and Shibas before getting yours 🙃 Aoki is such a sweet boy but he tends to be a little rascal! he has a lot to learn still 😜
they are so hard to put one but it helps protect their paw pads when it is freezing out - especially when there is extreme cold weather warnings in Canada.
Aoki is a Shiba Inu although he does look like a Shikoku. I believe that the breeders back in the days mixed Shikoku and Shiba Inu to have this colour but I am not sure so don’t take my word for it 🙏
